When you're feeling silly....

Ok so recently i decided that i absolutely had to have Miss Jane 'the booty' Romero's photo shoot Ready' outfit. I spent some time grinding for shards and auric cells...because i'm cheap. This turned into a long, arduous, sometimes frustrating adventure that goes with being a solo player most of the time. So after stressing myself out and finally getting the damn outfit (while sheepishly realising how silly it was to get stressed over it) I felt like i needed some fun.

So I put on plunderers and have spent most of my games (In between being a functioning team member) opening chests and dropping off presents to the survivors like a busty santa.

If I ended up the last alive in a trial, down went a pallet, a few noise spams and the killers would find me spinning under a hook. (I NEVER find the hatch before the killer, its my curse, and i don't like the old cat and mouse at the end) After initial confusion, I am happily hooked. Unless the killer doesn't want to, at which point we have a mexican stand off, with the killer pointing at the door and me pointing at the hook.

So this is my question, and please, please, PLEASE don't let this be another 'meant to be light fun thread' turn into another insult arena or platform for why killer/survivor are terrible.

**What do you do when every once in a while, you just want a silly game?**

Again, it makes me sad to feel i have to actually say this, but if we're all gonna be stuck indoors and if we have tens of hundreds of threads to go abuse each other on.....please let just one thread be civil.

    I actually laughed out loud at busty Santa.

    I sometimes do similar things, like I'll take items in with rare add-ons and give them to somebody else, as I actually prefer finding items within the game, as it makes it feel more 'realistic' to me and heighten the horror experience.

    I'm definitely a troll, but not an annoying one that ruins the experience of others, I just do derp things like sit and stare at people on the gen for a few seconds before I help as the survivors always look so stupid with that blank expression on their face and it really makes me laugh. I'll also continuously jump in and out of a locker if a killer is using Iron Maiden, as that's literally the best thing ever. I don't even care if they come back and down me, it was worth it.

    Here's a bonus screenshot of me watching another Ash open an exit gate. They actually took the screenshot and sent it to me in a message saying that they were dying laughing. So I'm glad my trollish ways were appreciated. 🤣

    Idk, for me there is a pressure to progress, to just like...not touch a gen at all and mess around, it actually kinda stresses me out somehow.

    I have had a lot of those yesterday though, just focussing hard on doing hte rift challenges, the one with protection hits...I never take those so now I have to not do gens at all, wait for someone to go down so im there to take a hit.

    Its weird that in my killer games this is super common but when I do it I feel so disgustingly useless, though somehow those killer games end up with all 4 escaping so what do I know.

    I found that challenge hard to. I am sooo not the best at looping so my skills lie in saves and gens. I did find that just waiting till the gates open and taking a hit for the one survivor running to the exit with the killer up their ass, dealt with that one efficiently.

    As survivor I almost always do the same little things every game. I'll t-bag other people when we meet or they heal me, if a gen gets blown up I'll stop and just stare at the person, nodding sometimes which gets them to stare back once in a while which is pretty funny. Little things like that make me smile when playing survivor.

    A funny example being on the game map, I spawned in next to a guy and he went to do a dull totem so I nodded at him and I started to protect him as if it was a lit one. He finished it and started t-bagging me and we just started crouching in a circle nodding and pointing. My buddy comes over and joins us and then so does the last person. At this point we're all just nodding at each other doing circles and the killer comes up and sees us and just stops. We all stare at her and she just kind of does a double take and then we all just start walking circles around her which led to us just farming and messing around. All of that from me protecting a guy doing a dull because I thought it'd be funny.

    As Killer, I'll just meme around now then using one of the various Killer games. Right now it's been the never-ending t-bag Ghostface which has been pretty fun. Lord have mercy if you don't struggle as I'll start backpacking you for the rest of the game even if it means I lose; assuming I wasn't feeling the sweat at least. Backpacking is one of my favorite things to do in this game.

    I always seem to have the most fun with a ghost face who just wants to be silly. There is still a video out there that a GF posted when her first came out. It was all good teabagging fun all round and i just love games like those. Don't get me wrong, i don't think every game should devolve into clown time. But you do appreciate it more when people stop being serious just once in a while for funsies.

    Recently I’ve been forcing survivors to dance with me with my big charge/quick pull chain. Hit em, reel him till we’re face to face and then we twirl.

    YOU WILL DANCE WITH ME SURVIVORS!

    I recently had a game where the deathslinger worked his ass off, really pulled a good game. I was last alive and he wanted to give me the gate, opened it up for me. I would have rather give him the hook for such a good game. He then proceeded to chain me, and swung me OUT into the exit!!
